Three new diesel-powered Mercedes SUVs ready to hit our shores

Mercedes continues its assault on the North American diesel market, which started back in 2006. The German automaker is launching a trio of new SUVs powered by the world's cleanest state-of-the-art diesel engine. The R320 BlueTEC, ML320 BlueTEC and GL320 BlueTEC all use the same V6 powerplant with Mercedes' BlueTEC system. The latter includes AdBlue injection, a technology that has been in place in Mercedes trucks and buses for a number of years. Thusly powered, these three new SUVs produce less greenhouse gas emissions; in fact, they meet the stringent Bin 5 standards applicable in North America. That will make things much more interesting at Mercedes dealerships starting this fall.
